Mouse phone & Usability
Read from mail that Sony has introduced a Mouse which doubles as a Internet Phone. Skype will be certifying that gadget soon.
Thats good.. but I have my few concerns over this gadget. I donno whether this gadget is really usable or not.
Say for a practical application, I call my friend at Burlington through skype.. and we chat for a while and thats cool.. I flup the mouse and place it on my ear and chat “machaaan…. eppidi irukka.. bla bla blaaaa”. Soon he informs me that he has hosted his recent tour photos in flickr. Now I open the browser.. type www.flickr.com and …uh oh.. wheres my mouse? Damn this is not good. I need a mouse to move the cursor.. but practicaly I am unable to do it.
I need to flip it back, place it on the table and move the cursor.. then open it again and talk with him. What a dad design and idea.. Sony! please redesign it.
